Awards & Recognition
After Frontiere’s passing in 2008, the Rams renamed the Community Quarterback Awards the Georgia Frontiere Community Quarterback Awards. The program awards $20,000 to local non-profits in recognition of outstanding volunteer service. Since its inception, the Rams have donated more than $170,000 to community groups.
Also in 2008, the Rams partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to host "Georgia's Drive Fore the Kids," a golf tournament to honor Frontiere and benefit the charity.
Sixth Street, between Convention Plaza and Washington, outside of the Edward Jones Dome, is now known as “Georgia’s Way” to memorialize Frontiere.
Frontiere was awarded an honorary doctor of philanthropy from Pepperdine University.
